    "content": "I was in Brazil about two weeks ago. In their Bill of Rights which is very similar to what we are trying to have in this country, every citizen of Brazil must have access to food. So, you are entitled and you are given a card by the Government. If you are poor, you can go to any restaurant and eat food. The restaurant owner sends the bill to the Minister for Finance; hopefully it will be to the county in future, so that they can pay the bill. Everybody has a house to sleep in. When you look at the amount of corruption that is going on in this country, the amount of looting of national resources and the money in the hands of people outside Kenya, you will see that it is enough to allow this country to build every IDP a house or every person who does not have a place to live in. According to the proposed Constitution, it will be the right of every Kenyan to ensure that they have a house, a place where he can live with his family. Even when we are constructing our roads, for example, here in Nairobi, many people are dying because of being crashed by cars. The roads are so narrow. We should create systems where if one is constructing a road in this country, you must provide walkways for people and bicycle lanes so that Kenyans can live and go home in peace. Many children are being crashed as they go home today. This is because we do not design our systems and road networks to provide for pedestrians or even care for the poor. These are the issues that I want the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to focus on in the next Budget. We are happy because the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance is serious about his job. I think Kenyans are very proud of him because he is delivering on the promises he made. Thank you. I beg to support."
